Chain Plying

While pondering my future I tried chain-plying sock yarn, on a size 8 circular needle. Now that I have the rhythm of it, I’m thinking it would be fun to see if a single skein of Phydlbitz Sock yarn would make a typical beanie in a basic pattern. My thinking is that chain-plying would be super for mixing up the colors in a wild multi-color skein, thus avoiding obvious pooling.

If it works I may try doing some more of my sprinkled or splattered multi-colored dye jobs specifically for that purpose, to be sold with instructions on how to do it.

What you think?
